Simon,

I'm looking forward to this! I've been thinking seriously of depicting an earlier BATUS Challenger 2 with mine.

Cheers, Tom

That doesn't look all black. It looks like a very dark green, like the paint scheme scalawag followed for his CR2 build.

DT12AA was painted all black for the amalgamation of 1RTR & 2RTR in 2014, which is why it's now known as the Royal tank regiment, it remained black for a short period before being returned to standard colours
